Plancton

[NightStalker]

Ok so ive done as much as i can for my shark, but i recently looked at the tank itself and it looks lik theres plancton or something on the glass.

I havent scrubbed it off yet, but im intrigued at what it is and if it could have anything to do with my shark, as i said its like plancton, or grass sort of only see through, and its attached to the glass, i can see it swaying left to right, millions of these little attachments and i dont know what they are.

If anyone knows anything please tell me, ive got enough problems with my fish, dont want another one creeping up on me unexpectingly.

Thanks Igor.

Could it be algae, is it green why haven't you wiped it off? Also what kind of shark is it whats wrong with it and what size tank is it in and what are your water readings.

Its not green its see through, havent wiped it off because it showed up recently, im doing a water change tomorrow when i plan to wipe it off. I opened a thread recent its there if you scroll down abit youll see, its called Emergency or not? for my ID. It has two pages so itll be easier to spot, the first page is pictures along with a description of whats happened, the last page has the readings on it.


The readings are on the last page, showing KH level as to low, and nitrate as to high, which im in the process of correcting then applying anti-biotics to the tank to see if my shark will heal.

The open red wound is now nothing but open white, as if his flesh turned white, its concerning me, i need to get the tank stabalized fast.

It will just be Film algae (looks like tiny white-transparent fluff that move around on the glass in the current), easily wiped off or add a couple bristlenose ...
